My friend bought me a gift. He had left the price tag intact, so I saw that the item cost him ₹ 200. The sales tax levied on the item was 5%. What was the total amount paid by him for the gift?
₹ 210
Price of the gift = ₹ 200
Sales tax = 5% of ₹ 200 = 5100× 200 = 10
Thus, total cost = Price of the gift + sales tax = ₹ 200 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 210
